Lovely scene! The car is a beauty and the scenery gives the perfect caribbean vibe. Great work!

I love it! Very unusual idea and well executed. Thats something you can really hang up a wall - a true piece of art

Looks mean! Yery nice how you embedded the flames. It literally breathes fire, speed and danger!

Looks very good. An elegant little plane!

Just lovely! One couldnt wish for a nicer wedding carriage. Beautiful work!

Great review! Sadly I pretty much overlooked iceplanet when it came out. Looking at it now it proves to be a pretty cool (no pun intended) marriage of classic space and more modern parts and colours. I also like the modular approach which really adds some play value.

I would also look at special offers in stores. They sometimes, especially when the new sets come out, are really desparate to clear their shelves. Even if its a theme you are not interested in, there might still be very useful parts included

Excellent review! Structure, photos, writing - can hardly be done better! I share your excitement about the car. It is really a spectacular build I wont have expected in an official set. Rather in an MOC really, given what extravagant mixture of large diesel locomotive and vintage bugatti from the 1930s it is. I'd prefer this car anytime over the batmobile, despite the minifig lineup, which looks more like an RC racer to me.

I'd say its purely a matter of definintion and if doesnt seems like Lego is defining a minifig that way obviously, otherwise they wont have made these For me, its against the spirit, which is, as I understand it, is part of Lego. Minifig parts should have at least some degree of interchangability between each other and these examples clearly dont offer that anymore (not that they are meant to, but thats not my point). I appreciate the occasional custom head mould for certain characters, but lately they are drifting too far away from the original Lego design. To an extend where it stops looking like Lego actually.

Thank you for this brilliant review! Very well structured, excellent photos and information! You really make me want to buy it now!

This explains it all! Or... Well, at least sort of Very good looking MOC. Like it jumped right out of the movie

They go into the box the kingdoms chess set came with, and when it is full (which might be very soon), I will have to find a second box of a decent size. Throwing them away would mean a terrible waste of resources to me. Not only considering how expensive printing and paper prices are today. I have an alternative though, if someone really doesn't wants to keep the instructions: sell them. Just make clear it really is only the manual you are selling

Very impressive. It combines beauty and decay in a very compelling way. Wonderfully arranged and very richmin details. I don't think you can do post-apocalyptic lego better than this.

Very cool planes indeed! I like the ww1 era ones a lot and seeing them is a very pleasant surprise. Especially since they are done so well.

Quite a number of models I haven't seen before either. Brilliant selection!

Well, that smile really needs to be looked after!

I didn't really loose much Lego when I was a kid, but sadly somewhen during my dark ages a couple of really nice minifigs got misplaced. Mostly Futuron and Space Police ones. Plus the glow-in-the-dark bits of a ghost from the early 90s. A pity really. These were all quite special.

A pretty perfect model! Very impressive and really beautiful! Makes me really curious to see the interior as well!

First of all congratulations for coming back to lego! For me, the organisation happens during storage. I sort my bricks by type usually. So all 1x2 bricks go together, small times go into their own tub, same applies for rounded slopes, etc etc. That works pretty well for me. I also tend to preselect some pieces I know i am going to need for my current project - and sometimes I actually use them! All in all this way works pretty well for me. Its a rather loose approach, since I do a lot of experimenting when building. I don't use instructions, unless I build an official set and don't plan ahead too much on which parts I am going to need. Others are just the opposite and plan very thoroughly ahead and use the LDD to build their sets on the PC first. Whatever works!

Nope. Just my personal belief. Much better than intolerance, hate and division, isn't it?

I am considering getting it as well. I stick usuaily with small and midsized sets, with some exceptions, but nothing yet even remotely close to a 4k piece set. It would be my first modular as well and the first town strucuture as well. Is it a good idea to start with it? It is quite a significant investion after all. Or are there other sets which are more suiting? I am also tempted to just go the bricklink-way and do my own thing...

Like a couple of other people replying here: No LDD for me. I love the hands-on-approach Lego offers and don't want to miss that. I do some digital 3D design stuff as well, but not related to Lego. There is an exchange of ideas though, but thats it. Lego is my free-chaotic-try-and-error-space!

Nice review! I really like the set. Its less spectacular maybe than ones with vehicles, but it clearly has charme. And i just cant resist getting something like an occult workshop. I just love magic. I removed the levitating levers through. That was just too gimmicks for me and took away too much space. But thumbs up for the moving tentacles! What a lovely weird Idea!

Very impressive! Its a really beautiful and super detailled build. Amazing work

We have still quite a number of then from over the last year, but we will eventually but the all Ingo the recycling, apart from the ones from the ideas sets, which are simply too nice to bin I am not a collector, so I don't bother about keeping packaging in general.
